Cracking Linux Passwords with John the Ripper 2 | Learning Linux
In this Video, I want to discuss password cracking strategy. Many newbie password crackers simply run their password cracking tool and expect a breakthrough. They run huge wordlists and hope for the best. If it doesn't crack the password, they are lost. Here I want to develop a multi-iteration strategy for password cracking that will work on the vast majority of passwords, though not all. No strategy will work on all passwords with the exception of the CPU and time-intensive brute force cracking.
Very often, hackers new to password cracking are looking for a single tool or technique to crack passwords, but unfortunately, that does not exist. That's fortunate for network security, though. Each type of password requires a unique strategy tailored to the situation. The situation can be the type of encryption (MD5, SHA1, NTLM, etc.), remote vs. offline, salted or unsalted, an so on. Your password cracking strategy must be specific to the situation. cyber security linux hack facebook kali linux tech raj
